"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Title:A Crown of Wishes (The Star-Touched Queen #2)Author:Roshani ChokshiPublisher:St. Martin's GriffinExpected publication: March 28thGenres: Fantasy, Young AdultGauri, the princess of Bharata, has been taken as a prisoner of war by her kingdom’s enemies. Faced with a future of exile and scorn, Gauri has nothing left to lose. Hope unexpectedly comes in the form of Vikram, the cunning prince of a neighboring land and her sworn enemy kingdom. Unsatisfied with becoming a mere puppet king, Vikram offers Gauri a chance to win back her kingdom in exchange for her battle prowess. Together, they’ll have to set aside their differences and team up to win the Tournament of Wishes—a competition held in a mythical city where the Lord of Wealth promises a wish to the victor.

Reaching the tournament is just the beginning. Once they arrive, danger takes on new shapes: poisonous courtesans and mischievous story birds, a feast of fears and twisted fairy revels.

Every which way they turn new trials will test their wit and strength. But what Gauri and Vikram will soon discover is that there’s nothing more dangerous than what they most desire.What are you waiting for this Wednesday? Let us know in the comment section below.

This March, I began a fresh series called the Novel of The Others by Anne Bishop. It's a supernatural story that consists of blood prophets, shapeshifters, wolves, vampires, and other wild animals.

Predators among predators. The Earth natives (terra indigene, the Others) were created and lived on Earth long before the humans (monkeys) were created and settled on the same planet. In order to live peacefully, the Earth natives stretched out on the entire planet, act as land owners, gave humans a small portion of land to dwell as renters.

Now the humans rise to fight against these horrid beings, not remembering, that the creatures who are their neighbors, their land owners, are buffers against the most powerful creatures ever created, Namid's teeth and claws.

Before the political struggle between terra indigene and humans, there exist a small Courtyard in Lakeside, who opened some of its stores to the humans, in order to learn about them, and be a bridge between species.

ReviewMulti-species living together for the first time in a Courtyard, as friends, using their skills to benefit their community (pack). Never before have the Others seen a pack learning to work together and be in harmony. Other Courtyard packs co-exist with one another but do not trust one another. The Others watch this Courtyard succeed and use them as an example on working with each other and dealing with humans.

Meg falls into the Lakeside Courtyard, seeking protection, and immediately, the terra indigene knew she's not just a simple human. They discover a human species so unlike any they've known. It is Namid's most wondrous and terrible creation, cassandra sangue.

What a
fantastic read. Anne Bishop knows how to create a multi-layer world and
connect them all so intricately to one being that hold the species
together, a childlike sweet innocent known as cassandra sangue, the blood prophet. The scenes are action packed and full of intensity. The story flows in a way that each book has a struggle but there is a bigger movement behind it all.

I love her focus and dedication to making each of her characters fascinating and impressive. Her childlike main character is sweet and kind. Her villain is the most despicable character ever written. She cleverly brings out both the innocence and violence of world.

Happy Spring! We are currently hosting the Beauty & The Beast giveaway on ourInstagram account.

We love the movie so much, we want to keep the theme going this week. We have a copy of the Beauty & The Beast retelling fromEpicreads' March release Hunted by Meagan Spooner and the adorable magnetic bookmarks pairing from NerdyGrlDesigns plus other bookish items will also be included in the giveaway.

Do you ever wish that you didn’t read a review or check the average rating for a book on Goodreads before you buy it? I love Goodreads, I truly do because it helps me keep track of the books I’ve read and the books I want to read. I also get to connect with other readers through posting and reading reviews.

I can’t think of a single book that I’ve read in the pass 3 years that I didn’t research on Goodreads beforehand. I always need to check out reviews before I buy a book. I used to read the synopsis and if it sounded good I’d buy it. Not any more.I’m glad that there is site/app where I can checkout what other readers are thinking, but lately, I've been irritated with how it influences my reading decisions. I try to take other’s views with a grain of salt but I still find myself shying away from 3.5 or less starred books regardless of the varying opinions. Do you feel like Goodreads is a curse and blessing? Do non-amazing ratings make you iffy? Is Goodreads affecting your choice in reading a certain book?

"Waiting On" Wednesday is a weekly meme, hosted by Jill at Breaking The Spine, that spotlights upcoming releases that we're eagerly anticipating.

Title:Blood Rose RebellionAuthor: Rosalyn EvesPublisher: Knopf Books for Young ReadersExpected publication: March 28thGenres: Fantasy, Young AdultSixteen-year-old Anna Arden is barred from society by a defect of blood. Though her family is part of the Luminate, powerful users of magic, she is Barren, unable to perform the simplest spells. Anna would do anything to belong. But her fate takes another course when, after inadvertently breaking her sister’s debutante spell—an important chance for a highborn young woman to show her prowess with magic—Anna finds herself exiled to her family’s once powerful but now crumbling native Hungary.

Her life might well be over.

In Hungary, Anna discovers that nothing is quite as it seems. Not the people around her, from her aloof cousin Noémi to the fierce and handsome Romani Gábor. Not the society she’s known all her life, for discontent with the Luminate is sweeping the land. And not her lack of magic. Isolated from the only world she cares about, Anna still can’t seem to stop herself from breaking spells.

As rebellion spreads across the region, Anna’s unique ability becomes the catalyst everyone is seeking. In the company of nobles, revolutionaries, and Romanies, Anna must choose: deny her unique power and cling to the life she’s always wanted, or embrace her ability and change that world forever.What are you waiting for this Wednesday? Let us know in the comment section below.

Happy Monday! It's time for another bookish list. My favorite places to read. You can tell by the title of this post, a least one place I like to read.

1. In bed. Morning or night, one of the best places to read is in the bed. It is extremely comfortable, just stack up some pillows, curl up with your blanket and have a cup of hot coffee next to you. The only thing that would make this better if the rain is falling against your window pane.

Using a food tray to read in bed, that way you don't have to hold the book while reading.

On a side note, try avoiding reading while laying on your back with the book over your face. FYI when you start to doze off and the book fall on your face it's not very pleasant. LOL!

2. On a couch. Like your bed, the couch is a nice and comfy spot to sit/rest and read a book. Armrests make great pillows.3. In a hotel. You’re enclosed and away from prying eyes. It’s private and cozy. 4. In the car. I spend a lot of time in the car. I open a book and fill those empty wasted minutes spent traveling by treading.5. At work. Sometimes I need to escape the stress of work. So go to the break room and open a book and for 15 minutes I'm in another world.
